THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., MARCH 30, 1944 DON'T DELAY-BUY A BOTTLE TODAY! OTTAWA REPORTS That Question on Subsidies On Dairy Products May Be Reopened Before May 1 Protest over the failure of the Federal Government to continue the sub.vdies on dairy products throughout the summer months has been registered by a delegation of some 30 members of the Dairy Farmers of Canada. This group, representative of all branches of the dairy industry, met in Ottawa earlier this month with the Agricultural Food Board and also with the Hon. J. G. Gardiner, Minister of Agriculture, and put their case in plain language. The Minister was urged to have the Cabinet reopen the question of subsidies before May 1 when most of the subsidies now being paid on dairy products will be reduced. There is hope that appropriate action will he taken. Dr. G. S. H. Barton, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Chairman of the Agricultural Food Board, said recently. "Of all the food products needed urgently, dairy products top the list." The reason for this, he said, is due to the wide range of demands for butter, cheese, concentrated milk, fluid milk and other milk products as a result of war. Canadian civilian consumption of milk and milk products jumped 18% in 1943 over the previous year. Iii addition huge quantities were provided for our Armed Forces and for shipment abroad, while to- TadIesT LIVE YOUR LIFE AND LOVE IT All- women who have had functional yam- 1<now the amount of silent suffering they mil.-: TONic.° 11°'»*aU8pl<jndid m. uirin different ^herb's " "that "women really need to k,.p tin in regular bark to normal.

In the current year increased demand is anticipated while prospects for greater production are none too cheerful. Information from other Allied countries, notably the United States, New Zealand and Australia, reveals a situation similar to that existing in Canada. It begins to look as though there will be a serious shortage of these vital foods in the face of critical need once the starving peoples of Europe are liberated and the United Nations are faced with the task of feeding them, in addition to meeting present needs. Unless the hard-pressed dairy farmer gets immediate and substantial aid, what's going to happen?

THE WAR • WEEK -- Commentary on Current Events Axis Troops Pour Into Hungary And Occupy All Strategic Points Out of the welter of cimi*u<.ii:g and contradictory reports about Hungary there emerges this one certainty: Hitler has taken over another country. He has converted another ally into a vassal and is rapidly wiping out any distinction between those who hoped to share in his victory and those he has conquered. Moreover, he appears to have accomplished this new coup with the same old methods of treachery, surprise and fifth column preparation that proved so successful in the cases of Austria, Czechoslovakia, Denmark and Norway, and to some extent even in Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium and Yugoslavia. For while the heads of the Hungarian Government were still conferring with Hitler at his headquarters, more than 110,0J0 German and Rumanian troops marched into Hungary with the aid and connivance of Hungarian Nazi elements; occupied all its- important points and communication centers; arrested hundreds of Liberals and Socialists, and rapidly crushed any opposition. Now Hitler is searching for a compliant puppet government under whose nominal authority he proposes to incorporate Hungary into that greater German Le-bensraum which is rapidly turning from a living space into a region i f death, says the New York Times. Hitler Must Hold Balkans The reasons for Hitler's action seems clear enough. The Russian advance across the Dniester into MODEL HEROINE Rumania heralds the end of the' battle of Russia and the beginning of the battle for the Balkans. Hitler must hold the Balkans because he needs their raw materials, and in particular the oil of Rumania, without whi_-h his war machine would be in danger of breaking down. But after the severance of the Odessa-Warsaw railway by the Russian armies his main communication lines to the Balkans lead through Hungary. Hungary was his ally; it joined both the Anti-Comintern pact and the Axis .pact; it granted Germany military transit rights long ago, and it joined in the war against Russia with .its own troops. But, using treachery as a normal devi ; of his own diplomacy, Hitler trusts nobody. He doea not trust the Germans whom he keeps id line by the terror of his police; and he trusts his allies even less--unless his own troops and Gestapo are in control. The German occupation of Hungary is thus Hitler's notice to the world that he is determined to fight for the Balkans and that the Carpathians are his main line of defense. Hungary's Recent Growth Just what the attitude of the Hungarian Government has been in this situation is still unclear. There are reports that it refused Hitler's sweeping demands and has been put under arrest. That is not implausible, for proud Hungary has always been jealous of its sovereignty. But that does not absolve the Government of responsibility for the plight of the country. Hungary joined Hitler partly under the compulsion of its exposed geographic situation, but also because of the spoils promised it. With German aid, it acquired the Carpatho-Ukrainc from Czechoslovakia, Transylvania and Rumania and the Banat-.from Yugoslavia. The country grew from 33,800 square miles, with a population of 9,100,000 to 01,700 square miles and a popula-toin of 12,700,000. Now Hitler is exacting payment for his aid at the cost of Hungary's independence. Again The Iron Fist There still remains the question why Hitler adopted methods which are bound to antagonize the Hungarian people. There can be no douM that the Hungarians would [Fjajhese days, when tea must yield |BJH| the utmost in flavour, quality is of supreme importance* Ask for ♦ ♦ "SALADA VOICE OF THE PRESS FINE REPORT OF C.N.R. Management and personnel of the Canadian National Railways are to be congratulated on the report on 1943 operations tabled in the House of Commons last week. The statistics presented by the president and chairman, Mr. R. C. Vaughan, constitute a new high all around. After payment of all operating expenses, there is a net revenue of $.116,140,000, or $29,484,-000 more than in 1942. A cash surplus- of $35,639,000 remained after meeting taxes, interest due the public and the Government, and providing $19,000,000 reserve for pension contracts. This exceeded the surplus of 1942 by more than $10,000,000. The unprecedented success was due primarily to the heavy traffic of a war year. It shows nevertheless the earning power of the system when the possibility exists. Obviously expenditures were closely watched. Operating expenses increased by $3.1,476,000, while operating revenue gained $64,901,000. The operating ratio for the year war 73.64 per cent, compared with 81.99 per cent in the most favorable peace year, 1928. The way in which the railway systems have risen to the extraordinary demands must be gratifying to the public as well as those directly concerned with the job.

Plan Frozen-Food Units For Farmers Ontario farmers after the war may be able, through "quick-freezing" units at low cost, to enjoy in midwinter the berries and vegetables they produce in summer. As soon as the war ends, Ontario Hydro proposes to send out mechanized units to display to the farmer and his wife latest electrical machinery and "gadgets" available. The plan was disclosed in the Legislature last week by Hydro Commissioner G. H. Challies. Mr. Challies said the "quick freezing" unit was not a dream but had been worked on for months in Hydro laboratories to sell at a very low cubic-foot cost. Hydro was not merchandising but would provide cheap power to bring modern equipment within the reach of every farm home. He knew, he said, of one unit already in operation which could hold 60 dozen ears of. corn, six crates of strawberries, six crates of raspberries as well as poultry and meat. Through their use farmers could enjoy in winter their summer surplus._ IF YOUR NOSE "CLOSES UP" TIGHT AT NIGHT HINDERS BREATHING--SPOILS SLEEP 3-PURPOSE good news ...
